A pic of the two I've acquired, the one on the left was the one that had the fuel rod issue, it's also a pain to start and smokes excessively, the other runs like a top, I've got allot of work to do.
I surely will, I hope the short duration of excessive idle (not so much idle) didn't do any long term damage, it had hit around 3300 rpm before I decided dumping the clutch was my only option.
Are there any post damage checks I should make prior to my next starting attempt, like I said I...
Thank you for the info and links, the return spring is working fine, I did try searching several different things but never found what you've got me! I can't wait to try this fix, first I tried placing my shirt on the bottom of the mushroom to kill it but that didn't even affect the idle at all...
Im trying to start a '70 M35 that ive recently bought (my first one), It was running fine before it was setup a couple years ago. Ive read through allot of TM's, and i do mechanic on my own vehicles, but I'm also new to diesel's, it was hard to get started, but when it finally fired off the...
Well I thought I'd post a few pics i came across looking for something else.
The story of the Willy's is my cousin owned it years ago, i remember riding in it as a kid, i remember him telling me he could put 5 dollars in it "used for hunting", and it would last for about 2 years.
He died and...
Heck for much less than that I could get this truck running and put a gin pole on the back of it. I've read where these axles are rated at 5t and some say 3t.
I guess the fever finally broke, lol
Though, One day I will own a 5t
m821
Thanks for the advice guys,
to answer "porkysplace" question he is set firm on 3,000 for the truck with winch, another complete set of 1400-20 tires on rims that are better than the 11.00-20's that are on it now. And another 5T front axle with a busted knuckle. When talking about parting...
Front bumper
That's awesome "f18hornetM" and there is only one reason why I'm not 100 percent on your side.
It all has to do with me moving and this front winch and bumper and me having a pile of 1500 lb axles to move. Along with a 20' storage building and a 13,000 lb Chevy tug.
I think I can...
He is set at 3,000. This motor is what I'd call fresh, he called Memphis equip. And they told him they sold the rebuilt motors for 5,000. And he's wanting to call someone to get the winch priced.
Yea I know they are allot prettier from a GL auction but honestly I've got crap for luck and...
My tug in my avitar has 5,000 lbs. of extra weight but i can't bring myself to scrap that beautiful front bumper. lol
I'm one that likes to hang on to stuff.
It was never tagged, it was legal for him to drive on the road because the loader was permanently attatched and he said that classified it as off-road. I'll have to ask if he has a title.
pics
ok, here's the pics. I go tomorrow to make the deal. Its a M821. It was overhauled some years ago when it was being used for a log loader. The engine runs good, no brakes at all.
It comes with another 5 ton front-end that has a broken knuckle, the loader was too heavy so the front end was...
